I am a middle aged female (but don't look or act it, thank God!) looking for a biking buddy for a trip to France in September. I did this last year also and had an incredible time. There is a bike trail "Loire a velo" that I want to do from Orleans to the Atlantic ocean, about 300 km or so, flat easy riding. I like to explore along the way, and there are castles, vineyards, etc, so 30-50 km per day is about my level of comfort.
I tend to stay in bed and breakfasts along the way, but could camp if the weather permits, although at this stage of my life do prefer creature comforts like a bed and shower! Please let me know if you are interested. Deborah dagles@juno.com
